Abstract

The utilization of museums as a contextual learning tool has significant potential to improve the quality of history education. This research shows that museums not only serve as places for storing historical artifacts but also function as interactive and contextual learning media for history education. Through museum visits, students can engage directly with the collections, deepening their understanding of historical and cultural contexts. This study aims to explore how museums can be utilized as an effective learning resource in history education, particularly at SMA Labschool Palu. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method. The results indicate that museum visits increase students' interest and engagement. However, challenges such as lack of promotion and limited access to museums hinder the optimal utilization of museums as a learning resource
